Another New Lodge in New York
Posted in Scouting News by John E. Pannell on June 2nd, 2010 at 6:00 am Last year Cayuga County Council was dissolved by the Boy Scouts of America and its territory assigned to Hiawatha Seaway Council. This meant the end for Tahgajute lodge #247 when its charter expired at the end of last year. Although this wasn’t a merger of two councils, as one had ceased to exist as a legal entity, the newly enlarged council and lodge both decided to change their names. Thanks to Craig Leighty for finding an announcement of the new council and lodge name on the council’s website.
The new lodge, effective January 1, 2010, is named Lowanne Nimat. Its translates from Lenape is given as “Brothers of the North.” Craig reports from another source that the lodge’s totem is the Gougou, a creature similar the sasquatch. The new lodge will continue to use 219 as its number. The lodge asks that any questions about this transition be directed to the lodge adviser.
Councilstrips with the new name are available. I do not yet have any word on any lodge patches.
